Replacing the UI delegate for a tooltip should be the same as for any

UIManager.put("ToolTipUI", "your.ui.Delegate");

Subject: RE: how can I change default tooltip component for everything?
Yes, I do that too, but I am wondiering if I can stuff my special
ToolTipUI into the UIManager.getDefaults() table somehow (what is a
lazy instance?). Then I wouldn't have to override every component I
want to have a multi line tool tip on.
